Chapter 8

What has happened?

You've Leveled Up!

You've grown to a stronger size, pumping with energy and feeling invigorated. Your fur has become much thicker and your tail is much bigger, at least over half the size of your body. You've become four feet taller with new long claws slightly tipped with some kind of green liquid. Your snout is a bit long and the same green liquid drips from between your teeth. Although you are bigger, you are still quite thin, and the surface of your fur is smooth. Almost cat like. A bit much for your first level up, but you aren't complaining. The elf must have been higher than you thought.

As you admire your new body, the barbarian yells out a war cry and charges you in anger, hammer drawn back to his left hip, yelling in a continues shout of battle. You act on your feet and quickly look around tell you see a large tree to your left. You leap up just as he swings his hammer down, cracking the dirt and even pulling up your stump a bit. He goes silent for a moment before tugging on his hammer with grunts of rage tell he pries it from the dirt. His breathing is heavy and a bit of spit drops from one of his large bottom teeth as he looks to you. Your claws dig into the bark and you rush up to a strong limb to rest for a moment. The orc yells again, raising his fists and swinging his hammer around as the fighter picks up a few things the elf left behind, rummaging through the puddle of vomit. The dwarf still sits on his rock, watching the orc throw a massive tantrum. He kicks your stump a few times before slamming his hammer against the side and ripping it out of the ground. Well, there goes your home, not like you could still fit inside though. You lay down on the tree limb and check your new stats.

A Tree Skunk? You've never heard of that before. Are you some kind of magical beast? At least you have a new method of combat. You are pretty agile now, strong legs for jumping and sharpe claws for climbing, gives you a great advantage in this forest. Should come in handy if you have to fight close range. The barbarian below is enraged and is not going to let you escape. He takes his hammer and begins to crash against the base, breaking the bark and leaving deep dents in the wood bleeding sap. "YOUR NOT GETTING AWAY FROM ME YOU MONSTER!!! RRAAAAAHHHH!!!" The dwarf rushes over and tries to grab the head of his hammer to stop him, but the orc simply picks him up and tosses him like a toy into a bush. The orc wails away at the tree, making it clear he's trying to cut down the tree with his hammer. The fighter finishes gathering what the elf lost and walks over to the barbarian and simply stands behind him, waiting for him to run out of steam and calm down. The dwarf tumbles out of the brush and walks over with his staff still in hand, limping over to another stump that he sits on to rest. The barbarian doesn't stop, he is determined to get you down as piles of chipped timber collect to his sides. It won't be long before he brings the tree down.
